One of the sailors, a tall man with gold teeth, said in a sarcastic tone, "As the captain, shouldn't you be more concerned about your crew first?"

Todd looked in the direction of the voice and saw seven or eight people standing next to "Gold Tooth," who all started to cheer at the same time.

"The first mate is right!"

"That's right! Besides, this woman started it!"

"Even if it's cargo, can't I just touch it? Hahaha!"

"We've been sailing for two days! Why hasn't the captain told us where we're going?!"

Todd turned his head to look at Aisha, whose expression was as cold as ice. She did not move, but the short sword in her hand was trembling slightly.

Even with her father's prestigious reputation, a 22-year-old female pirate would likely find it difficult to command respect.

“Mr. Derek (Todd’s pseudonym), your female companion injured my man, and we must talk about compensation.”

Todd closed his eyes, smiled and nodded: "Of course, no problem. Let me think about it."

The next instant, Todd summoned Rachel into the research institute in the soul space and said to her, "Would it be feasible if we took command of this ship now?"

Rachel shook her head: "We've only been sailing for two days, and we're still a long way from the northern ice sea. I don't recommend seizing the ship now. First, we have no sailing experience, and even if we seize the ship, we'll have to rely on the crew to continue our voyage. Second, we'll still need Barbarossa's daughter to guide us. According to my intelligence, she has sailed to the northern ice fields before. Without her cooperation, we probably wouldn't be able to reach our destination at all, amidst those spiderweb-like glaciers."

"So what do we do now? Give them money to appease them?"

“No, I have another idea.” Rachel sat in her swivel chair in her office, resting her chin on her hand as she thought, and said, “A sailor just said something that has been bothering me…”

A thought suddenly struck Todd, and he asked, "Is this the sentence: 'We've been sailing for two days! Why hasn't the captain told us our destination yet?!'"

Rachel gave Todd an approving look and nodded, "That's right, that's it. Based on my guess, the sailor's harassment of me was a deliberate provocation. On the one hand, the Black Pearl's captain didn't tell the crew the destination before setting sail, which probably caused dissatisfaction among many; on the other hand, some sailors coveted Aisha's leadership. These two things combined led to today's provocation, and someone wanted to take advantage of this to suppress her authority."

As Todd recalled the scene on the ship, he said, "The leader was that first mate with the gold teeth."

Rachel nodded: "Yes, it should be him."

Todd pondered for a moment, then suggested, "Perhaps we can help eliminate this group."

“That’s one way, but not the best way.” Rachel fiddled with the mouse on the table and said softly, “It’s not difficult for us to wipe out these disobedient scum, but that will inevitably arouse Aisha’s suspicion and vigilance. After all, no captain would want to see two powerful aliens suddenly appear on their ship. If things go wrong, it might even push this young pirate captain to the opposite side.”

Todd instantly understood her meaning: "You want to escalate this conflict, making Aisha take matters into her own hands and eliminate this destabilizing factor during the voyage." Please remember the book's original domain name: . Mobile version reading website:
